I love chicken thighs. One of my go-to staples is crispy cast-iron chicken thighs, but when I want something even quicker and simpler, I turn to baked boneless skinless chicken thighs.

They cook up so quickly, are much more forgiving than chicken breasts, and are almost impossible to mess up!

How Long To Bake Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs?

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs bake quickly and are incredibly forgiving; even if you overcook them slightly, they will still be juicy and moist.

They should be cooked for 20 minutes at 425 °F, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 °F.

On the stovetop, in a pan, you can also prepare boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Watch the video below to find out how, or go to my YouTube channel.

Tips for The Best Baked Chicken Thighs

Pull the chicken out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you begin cooking. This will take the chill off of the chicken and help it to cook more evenly.

Trim off any excess piece of fat. This just makes for a more enjoyable eating experience once the chicken is cooked up.

Pat the chicken dry before seasoning with the oil and spice rub. This will stop the chicken from steaming and help it to create a nice crispy edge (even without the skin!)

Use a rimmed baking sheet (lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup!). This will prevent any of the chicken juices from running off the pan and getting all over the oven.
